[Strike Back] You gotta love a show where they keep asking Mr. Scott for more thrust.

STRIKE BACK (placeholder)

Strike Back is a military drama television series on Cinemax. New episodes are every Friday night at 9pm CST. The show is currently in it's third episode of it's second (third?) season.

Meet Damien Scott, professional LADY KILLER

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTxapNrNfBfaEBTyDDTQnKO-9fQVvggSxP62-o9owpD5p3wpb3tMA
He's on the phone with your mom right now, and is probably banging her. In fact he's banging her right now, but his dick is so long the only way they can communicate is via cell phone.

Damien Scott is a complete pimp playa, most of the man-ass on the show features him. Which isn't a bad thing at all. He fucks like a champion and even stops to fuck some of the bad guys(girls) while he's undercover and on the way to a bust. He regularly get's out of situations simply by removing his clothes. There's a good reason why he is working for the Brit's and you will find out when you watch the show damn it who do you think I am friggin'; reading rainbow?
He is an ex Delta Force operator who is buddy buddy with this guy:

I'm.. too sexy for my shirt... my sexy british shirt.... so sexy it hurrrrtssss.

Sgt. Stonebridge is a career soldier coming from the S.A.S/S.B.S who could probably wreck the Expendables shit while making them pee their colostomy bags. He's also married so he won't be making Eiffel towers with Damien any time soon. He's British and Tone deaf. He enjoys British stuff like Tea, and is usally the one to get Scott to cool off and use his head.

They go around the world doing missions and stuff like shooting dudes, blowing up dudes, stabbing dudes in the neck with hypodermic needles, getting dudes to shoot their own dudes in frustration.

Last but not least, SGT RICHMONDAMNDATGIRL IS FIIIINEEE

and to think. This was the pic I had to post because I couldn't find the sexy picture.. that's how sexy.. Sexyness off the charts


She is a sexy sexy minx... who also happens to be devastatingly sexy, while being a computer wiz and a bad ass covert operator at the same time.. basically any nerds wet dream incarnate. Oh did I mention she has a British accent? Because she has a British accent. She's fucking Tomb Raider. She is also the woman who I want to have my children, no prenump even.

Together they represent the premiere operators of a top secret fictional British government agency named Section-20. Section-20 is Jack Bauer's version of Disney World. They regularly disregard orders from their superiors in order to shoot things. They have magical satellites EVERYWHERE, and enough giant TV screens to host one damn good game of Battletech. They are commanded by this, also ginger lady

Are you beginning to notice the pattern of don't fuck with red heads/big boobs? Because you should

Colonel Grant. She is basically all the good guys listed above With an even sexier rack. She is ruthless. She get's the job done. Pretty much everyone should be wearing an Assy Mcgee patch on their BDU's because they are all loose cannons but good cops. They shoot valuable targets who have intel just because it's fun. They don't give a fuuuuuuu, because they are going to save the day anyway, deal with it, Tywin Lannister.

Daddy's home.

Charles Dance you say?

Yes, mofuckin' Charles "bands will make him" Dance. Strike Back is like the back room of the party where all the cool kids go to get away from all the annoying hangers on. Game of Thrones characters on the show include, but are not limited to, Ser Davos, Jorah Mormont (Yes Jorah "I'm the mofucking boss" Mormont), aaaand... Charles Dance. Did I say Charles Dance already? We'll he is awesome enough to deserve two mentions. There also may be another one from Thrones but I can't really remember right now off the top of me dome.




There are a few other characters but no one really cares about them.

The show is in it's second season on Cinemax right now. That's right I said Skinemax.. hence the entire show is pretty much a porno. It's rare for an episode to go by without at least one shot of man-ass and two shots of woman-ass.

Technically it is in it's third season, the first was a mini-series that had Rick Grimes from Walking Dead in it, but no one saw that because, British. Although it is said to be also awesome.

There's massive amounts of shooting/gore/boobies/ and special ops shit. Doesn't hurt that Scott and Stonebridge may be one of action's finest comedy teams. They play off each other real well. (fun fact: In real life Stonebridge's actor is American and Scott's is British), however going by the show alone you could never tell. Glad I could ruin it for yah. This OP is a work in progress and will be updated with better synopsis and bio's as I get to them. Spoilers are required at all times as this show is not very popular and most of everyone hasn't seen it yet.


TLDR; It's a badass show about badasses doing badass things while having badass sex and saying stuff like badass and "He said he would cut off our cocks and put them in our mouths" ... "...Awesome"

This is the best damn show on TV that no one is watching. Watch this show or I will kill you.


PS Here's a little video to get a taste of Strike Back's awesomeness:

    Intriguing. I loved 24. But this man's moral code seems to have nothing on Jack Bauer's.

    Also, I have never watched (or heard of?) a show made by Cinemax. This decreases Strike Back's legitness.

    Trust me.. it's worth it big time. Also, Jack Bauer would shit his pants if Scott and Stonebridge came at him. They are just that objectively awesome at what they do.

    FOX's writers used a ton of shortcuts to make Bauer seem more badass than he actually was.

    I remember there was this one episode where he had to convince a mob force that he was 'one of them' by killing a guy on their list. He killed the guy and showed the proof, but it turns out Jack's victim was a PEDOPHILE, OOOoooOOOoooOOO!


    Lame as hell and a real cop out so Jack never goes into the morally grey area for good.

    Can't decide what about this show is the most awesome, the naqadah-enhanced grenades, the brilliant hostage rescue plans that always involve Scott or Stoner getting captured or the unspoken, unavoidable fact that the two are going to end up in bed together at some point. This has to happen, right?

    I got the first season (by Cinemax) on DVD. I love this show so much.

    Maybe it is the fact that it involves guns and more spec ops stuff. I dislike the vagueness of other espionage shows. Part of the genre but hard to digest in my case.

    I can't wait to catch the second season.

    Someone needs to put together a montage of all the times Scott say's "Fuck me". Saying "Fuck you", while killing people can also be included as a contrast.

    Sinclair's turned off. He could have put up a bit more of a fight. He clearly saw where it was going soon as asshole walked into the cell area. Trying to pull off the Rules of War was a "Are you kidding me?" moment. Julia had a good response to it, though, afterwards. Could have wounded him a bit more first, though

    Seriously, when the cable guide description says something like "Section 20 must track down so-and-so's activist daughter" and your first thought is calculating the over/under for 'minutes it will take Scott to hit that after meeting/seeing her for the first time', you know the guy has a staggering track record.

    Wait just a god damn minute. Isn't this the thing with Richard Armitage and Andrew Lincoln? Is there a US remake or something?

    Oh OK, so; Strike Back series 1 just doesn't exist for US viewers? You call Series 2 "Season 1" and Richard Armitage was never around?

    Hopefully this is a surprise then! There's another season of this, before the first season! :D

    It existed for like the first 3 minutes in the US version. Then was mentioned in the last 30 seconds of "Season 1". And then was never heard from again.

    This show is pretty excellent. I sold it to a friend on the premise that it's like watching a really great two hour action movie and then immediately discovering that they had made a sequ-- wait, they made four sequels already?!

    Ha, "I looked it up...".
    Glad no one else shuffled off the mortal coil. Knox got off a bit easy, even if they were going for not so subtle symbolism. So next season they must be going after Death Lasers in Space or something. Hard to top simultaneous nuke disarming.

    So on the suggestion of this thread I checked out the series, and I like it! I like it alot! I was a little confused when I watched the "first" season (ie. the season that wasn't done by cinemax) but once I reached the "second season" (which lets face it, is really the first season of a very different show) it made alot more sense. I was pleased to see a bunch of cast from Game of Thrones make appearances - Charles Dance as usual made for an excellent villain, I also rather liked Vincent Regan's performance as Karl Matlock - probably one of the best written portrayals of a professional mercenary that I've ever seen in a TV show. In any case, just finished watching what I assume is the finale of season 3. Looking forward to the next season!

    One minor criticism:
    I do wish section 20's commanders would stop meeting with their enemy counterparts in person. It seems like every time they do they end up either injured or killed, when there really isn't a reason for them to put themselves in such a risky position.

    It's not an usual protocol for intelligence agencies to do. In fiction, anyway. Harry Pearce does it sometimes in MI-5 Spooks. Which blows up in his face in season 7.

    I love how every season ends with Scott and Stonebridge on the roof of someplace sharing whitty banter about all the awesome shit they just did. This is the ultimate manshow.


    edit: thread title change done


    You know, if they ever need a push by the fans to keep the show going kind of like what happened with Fringe and redvines.. I suggest we all send condoms to Cinemax adressed to Damien Scott.

    Episode 3 summary:
    Lazerby (Dougray Scott) blows a guy up for some reason we don't know about or care to find out, yay explosions!

    The guys and co get spotted by a bad guy the bearded CIA dude is talking to and they catch bad guy who says Big Terrorists Guy is flying in care of Lazerby.

    Dalton starts popping pills and losing it over Baxter being killed.

    Lazerby has sexy time with his boyfriend then heads to a bar where he meets bearded CIA dude, but not before hitting on Stonebridge.

    Scott gets a hotties phone number while standing around during the operation because he's Mr. Scott.

    Lazerby scares bearded CIA guy by killing his boyfriends possible cheating lover, the bartender that followed them in. Shoots boyfriends finger. Lazerby is a bit crazy.

    They scoop up the boyfriend and pump him for info. Big Terrorist Guy is coming in at an airfield at noon.

    They seemingly convince bearded CIA dude not to bail after the crazy shit he just saw.

    Scott has gone 45 minutes without getting laid. Fixes this with the hotties phone number. He leaves. She pulls out a photo of him. Dun dun dun.

    They hit the airfield, car chase, gun fight, no Big Terrorist, just some woman. Dalton, losing her mind, tells them to bring her back.

    Dalton is about to interrogate the probably innocent mostly woman like she's never been interrogated before, but uh...her boss, shows up.

    Dalton is now on leave for being out of it. Shoo.

    She doesn't see this as a reason not to swipe the woman and stuff her in a trunk to get to that interrogation I mentioned before.

    The End.

    What the fuck was that?! And again to a less degree:
    So much for keeping lady bosses...But WTF: So Dalton is so out of her mind she just suddenly forgets there's (an) enemy combatant(s) around? Baxter went out better. Everyone else has went out better. Just what the hell?

    And good way to ambush someone hotel-guy. Twiddle with the silencer pointing at the ceiling. S&S sure should be scared of you.

    On the other hand:
    Ha, Lazerby and boy toy go out because (Lazerby is evil and nuts and) the power of Mr. Scott can not be defied, even during a life and death stand off and if you're gay. Or maybe he just had something on his face.


    I don't think I want any kind of disease trying to take out one of our immortal duo. Just bad form. If if succeeds fuck that, if it doesn't it distracts from the bullets and boobs, and explosions.
